Ultraedit has been mentioned a few times and it used to be my favorite The newer version even does word completion.
Recently I have moved over to Komodo from ActiveState.
I was just looking at the Activestate Komodo site and realized that they now charge $30 for a copy of the newest version.
What I did notice was that version 1.1 is still free you may want to use that instead, here is the link.
Komodo feels a little slower than Ultraedit but has a built in debugger, RegEx builder, Code-folding and apparently
remote debugging for CGI scripts which I haven't yet tried. The info blurb is here. I fine the AutoCompletion and in IDE
debugging the biggest productivity enhances. I doesn't handle very long lines quite as well as Ultraedit and doesn't
have a spell checker as yet but if I'm going to sit down and code for more than a few minutes it is what I use.
